Can I access an older back up than the third one on the same device?

I have an iPhone 4, 8gb, 6.1.3 ios and one day it was moving slowly so I decided to reset it and erase all data from it. I was sure that my iCloud backed up everything because it was backing up everytime when the iPhone was locked, charging and connected to wi-fi. Recently whatsapp has launched an update which allows users to back up their chats directly from the app. When I saw this new feature I tried to use it, but everytime I received a message which was saying that there is not enough room on my iPhone or on my iCloud to back up my archive. At the beginning I thought that this new feature allows to back up the messages on whatsapp servers or something (don't know why I was thinking like this), so, in that day when I decided to reset my phone, I thought that my whatsapp was still backing up in my iCloud account, as it usual did, so I didn't feel to worry. After the reset, I chose the latest back up from my iCloud account which happened to be on that day, earlier in the morning, and after that, when my iPhone started to download the apps, I realised that my whatsapp was downloading too fast, and when I opened it I saw that all of my messages were gone (1.7 gb of archive). I restore it again and I chose the third back up, which was made three days before that day and it happened the same. While I was thinking I realised that since that new update, my whatsapp wasn't backing up on my iCloud as usual, so now I need an older back up, like a few weeks or a month before that day to get back my whatsapp archive! Please help! Do not tell me to verify my iTunes back up because I didn't back up my files on it. Are there any chances to get that archive back, please ?!

Only one normal iPhone backup is kept by iTunes. It's actually an incremental backup in that only data that has changed is actually backed up. Any other backups, listed for your device, are backups made at restore points. These backups are time/date stamped & are not overwritten. You can view your available backups here: iTunes>Preferences(under the Edit menu in Windows)>Devices.

    No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
    As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

  • I upgraded to the new IOS, but lost data and apps. When I try and restore the only backup I see is the one made AFTER the lost data. How can I access an older backup from the cloud?

    Why don't you talk to apple and find out if backup exists? That conversation with apple will stop your guessing.

  • I accidentally deleted an Application on my iphone 5 and with it lost important files. How do i get back these files. The last iphone backup sync was after this so I cant even access an older back up as I cannot find them. How do I get back my Lost files.

    On your iMac launch iTunes and at the top next to the Apple symbol click iTunes > Preferences > Devices and tell me what you see. You last sync should be there showing only a device name. If you have an older backup it will be there as well the difference is it will be the device name with a date and time stamp. Sync and backups are two different things and there is a chance iTunes made a backup the first time you hooked up your iPhone 5. 

  • HT1766 I deleted some phone records (call numbers, dates) & texts. Can I access them from back-up without restoring the phone.  Don't want to alter what I have, just find what I later deleted

    Without "pretending" to be yourself on the other phone (change settings) there's nothing else you can do.
    iOS devices are meant to be single user and can't view iCloud.com the same way a Mac or PC can do.
    You need to find a desktop or laptop machine (Mac or PC) to log in at iCloud.

  • How can I migrate data from an old MBA to a new one without having access to the screen of the old one? The screen of the old MBA is damaged !

    How can I migrate data from an old MBA to a new one without having access to the screen of the old one? The screen of the old MBA is damaged !

    If your "older" MBA has a Thunderbolt port then it isn't that old. See Target Disk Mode about how it's used. Note that without a monitor you won't be able to tell from the screen when it has fully started, and if it succeeded in starting in TDM. If it did, then the hard drive should appear on the Desktop of your new computer. You can then access it to transfer your files. You can even use Migration Assistant or any backup utility to transfer data. Just don't try to transfer system files.

  • TS1368 On my iPhone and iPad I can't access iTunes whenever I try to open it it gives the message cannot connect to iTunes store

    On my iPhone and iPad I can't access iTunes whenever I try to open it it gives the message cannot connect to iTunes store any advice

    Okay than this definitely was not Apple. Apple support techs never have access to your mouse. It sounds like this company installed some software on your Mac. It is hard to tell what their intentions are but just assume in these situations that all your data was compromised. Possibly all your online accounts have been compromised such as social networks, banks, etc.. The smartest thing to do would be to change all of your passwords and reinstall OS X on your Mac. It sounds extreme but that's what happens when a 3rd party company gains control of your computer.

  • Sometimes when I play songs in Itunes by double clicking on them, Itunes will place the song as the first one on the album.  It will chnage the order of the songs on the album, and I can not switch them back to the correct order.

    Sometimes when I play songs in Itunes by double clicking on them, Itunes will place the song as the first one on the album.  It will chnage the order of the songs on the album, and I can not switch them back to the correct order.  This onloy seems to happen when I double-click on the song to play it in itunes.  If I just hit play, this doesnt happen.  As a result, I have several albums now in which the songs are in the wrong order.  Its very frustrating, as this error then transfers over to my ipod every time I sync it.  When I choose the info. for the songs, it has them correctly listed (i.e., it lists the songs as being #1 of 19 on the CD, for example).  But then the song will have placed by Itunes as #5 of 19 for whatever reason.  Itunes does not do this every time, but does it with enough frequency to be maddening.  Any thoughts?

    The problem of tracks becoming de-linked between iTunes and the music files in your iTunes music folder happens for different reasons - this seems to come up fairly commonly in this forum.
    The solution can be to locate each song in the iTunes library, as you mentioned - or, but wait, before I get to that...
    trouble finding the original track in your iTunes music folder? maybe look for it under compilations, or if not using the 'group compilations preference' then look in the folder under the songs artist name, but what song artist name iTunes uses depends on what you have in the metedata tag spot for album artist or song artist. Any varyation in artist name spelling, in the menu item 'get info' metadata for any selected individual track will cause iTunes to create that as a separate artist folder in the library, even names like 'various' or any difference at all (even the word 'the' can change where in your iTunes music folder a track gets placed by iTunes). You can try to use the finder function of find file (finder munu item outside of iTunes) to locate hard to find items.
    Back to how to re-link any de-linked tracks .
    There may be scripts that can help re-link de-linked music files - or, at least provide you a list of such files, Scripts are easy to install and use...
    at Dougs Scripts, there is one called iTunes Track CPR that might work
    http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=itunestrackcpr
    or, if you just want a list of de-linked tracks, go to
    http://dougscripts.com/itunes/
    and find the script called List MIA's, this will create a text file listing all de-linked tracks

  • Can I replace an older Airport Extreme with a newer one by importing configuration file

    Can I import the configuration file from an older Airport base station into a newer replacement Airport base station?  It would seem this would save me a lot of extra work.  First, it would hopefully save time by automatically configuring the new base station without me having to fiddle with the settings.  Second, it might hopefully save some more time if I would not have to re-enter the network parameters for all the devices currrently connected to my Airport (wi-fi) network.
    Read on for more details.
    My old Apple Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS) is not a gigabit one.  Moreover, it's been experiencing some hardware failures recently.  So, I recently purchased a new Apple Airport Extreme (base station) that is a gigabit one (Model# ME918LL/A with 802.11ac Wi-FI).  Now, I'd like to replace the older base station with this newer one with the MINIMAL amount of disruption and manual work possible.
    Regards,
    Tony

    I relaced an older AEBS with the new one, recently, and did not need to import anything, but if you can save the configuration file from your old one, then you can import it to the new one. I've never tried that when I switched, and it didn't seem to matter which suggests the configuration file may be on disk somewhere.

  • Can i get an older copy of itunes cause i cant stand the new version

    can i get an older copy of itunes cause i cant stand the new version

    Before you go to the effort to downgrade, go to the small icon with the arrow at the extreme upper left and select "Show Menu Bar":
    Then from the View menu select "Show Sidebar" and "Show Status Bar". That may alleviate some if not all your complaints. If not, you can download iTunes 10.7 here:

    There are many threads in this forum with downgrade instructions.

    Looks like the link you originally clicked was a scam to get you to submit your username and password.  I reckon the email from Google was legit (because it did not ask you to enter your username and password, but advised you to change your password.)  So it looks like they did actually block a sign-in attempt.  Sometimes, scammers do send out emails like this, but they are the ones which ask you to sign in again (because it's those details they are after).
    Given that you've changed your password three times you should be safe.  The golden rule is never submit usernames and passwords when prompted from an email - it's almost certainly a phishing attempt designed to get hold of your details.

    ITunes won't connect all I get is the "accessing iTunes store......". With the bar scrolling but no connection.
    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
